Pre-FLC review request

I'm getting close to nominating List of Maryland Terrapins football honorees as a FAC, and would really appreciate if you could give it a once over. Another set of eyes on it before it goes to FLC would be a big help. I understand if you don't have the time available, though. Thanks. Strikehold (talk) 02:33, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Ron Hamence in 1948

Renominated him. Thanks YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 03:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2008 Monaco Grand Prix/archive1

I'm sure you remember it, but I'm just a little worried that nothing concrete has happened in the FAC yet to stop an archive. Good to be back at FAC and get your always useful comments, by the way. Apterygial 12:20, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Tiger Woods GAR

You did a bang up job in finding new refs for the article. I have just realized I did not check the old refs. There are a bunch of dead links. Would you accept responsibility for cleaning these up or should I reopen the GAR for wider efforts. Hit my talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 03:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks for the pre-FAC review. I've gotten a great response from editors, and I'll likely be putting it up for FAC at this time next week. JKBrooks85 (talk) 08:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I've posted the FAC for 2009 Orange Bowl now. Thank you again for your help in the pre-FAC review. JKBrooks85 (talk) 00:41, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, can you comment on the flag issue that I've raised? I've no strong preference, but would like to hear other users' opinions. Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 04:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

FAC for Mariano Rivera

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I have started another nomination for the article Mariano Rivera due to the progress I made in addressing reviewer concerns. You had commented on the previous nomination and I wanted to contact you to see if you could also comment on the 2nd nomination and the progress that has been made on the article. Thanks.

Pre-FLC look requested

List of members of the Basketball Hall of Fame (head coaches). We (User:Chrishomingtang and I) split off lists for the players, contributors and coaches, as User:Rlevse has done with the service academy alumni lists. Could I ask you to take a quick peek and see if anything's missing or awry? Thanks, Dabomb87 (talk) 02:45, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Luton Town FAC

Luton Town F.C. – a lot of copy-editing done now, have a glance through if you get the chance. :)

You mentioned a while back that 2004 World Series needed sometime about the tv ratings. I've working on something in my my sandbox, give it a look when you can. BUC (talk) 18:33, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I thought I probably forgot one. I appreciate all the effort you put into reviewing the article, and showing just how poor my grammar really is. It greatly helped make the article better. Again, thanks for everything. Kaiser matias (talk) 00:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for commenting on this FLC. I believe that all of your concerns have been addressed. I would appreciate it if you could check back when you have some time. Thanks again, GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:51, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

You stated in this FLC that you were waiting for Dabomb87's responses regarding the sources. He has replied and said that they all look good. If you could stop by and let me know if you have any remaining concerns, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 17:22, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your latest note. I'm just wondering if perhaps you didn't see this earlier response, or if perhaps it wasn't clear from that response that I'd like to leave the totals section as is. If there's a different comment that's unresolved to which you were referring, please let me know. Thanks, Mlaffs (talk) 21:46, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

2004 World Series PR

You commented on the 2004 World Series FAC a while back. I've now started PR in the hope of renominating it. See it here. BUC (talk) 08:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I've replied to your comments. BUC (talk) 06:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/BBC Sports Personality of the Year/archive1

Hi, could you comment on whether this is a list or an article here? On an unrelated note, that hyphen in the "17-14" of your signature has always bothered me! Dabomb87 (talk) 22:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Dabomb, your commitment to WP:DASH is seemingly endless. I hope you don't have immediate plans to move from signatures to categories! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 22:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Curse Wikipedia for forcing upon me those niceties of typography of dashes, ellipses and non-breaking spaces! Dabomb87 (talk) 22:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
I'll have to see if user preferences has the nice edit box that includes the en dash. Will also look at the article/list tomorrow; it struck me as a hybrid when I reviewed it, but I didn't pay close attention to whether or not it was over the line for an FL. Giants2008 (17-14) 01:51, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
I was only (half) joking, of course. If you're serious about it, you can always use the HTML code: – Dabomb87 (talk) 13:39, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
There's an edit box!? I've been using HTML code for all these years and converting it in the search box! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Oh dear, it seems it has taken me this long to realise there is an edit bar underneatch the summary box. I never usually scroll down that far. :( Rambo's Revenge (talk) 14:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
The user preferences page didn't have an edit box, but code apparently works. :-) Giants2008 (17–14) 23:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Fixed Ring, I need some opinions on some matters about the Olympics. Thanks YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 08:10, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

I think we're mostly done here as far and content and referencing goes, apart from something on TV rights that I can't find. Do you want to copyedit it? To be honest, I am feeling rather lazy YellowMonkey (cricket photo poll!) paid editing=POV 08:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Response to Joel Selwood

Yeah I have been at FAC previously, forgot about it to be honest... York Park was the article and is again at GAN. I've improved greatly as an editor since then. Thanks for your comments. Aaroncrick (talk) 01:37, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

As long as I'm on here the article will keep getting updated. Cheers, Aaroncrick (talk) 03:15, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello dude. You made a number of comments at the FLC for this list about a week ago, I was wondering, if you got a chance, you could revisit the FLC to see if your comments had been addressed? Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Questions

Hi there. Lately, I've been working on Toney Douglas, whom you might be a little interested in now that he's a Knick; I'm trying to finish expanding it before the article reaches the front page for DYK. Three things I'm worried about:

  • Missed any crucial bits of info?
  • Undue weight? I've already cut out some trivial statistics.
  • NPOV? I'm too close to the article to tell, but does it glorify him to much?

I'll be interested to hear your opinion. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 00:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm in the middle of writing the pro section (which won't be nearly as long as the college section). In the long run though, will Hill and Douglas really change things around at Madison Square Garden? Doubtful... Dabomb87 (talk) 01:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Joey Hamilton

Hey, I've meaning to ask if you would be willing to do a full review of the article since if I remember correctly during the FAC you said there was more that needed to be done. Thanks, --Giants27 (c|s) 15:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!--Giants27 (c|s) 23:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Career leaders lists

I'm not sure. For statistics like saves and hits, finite numbers which don't go down (only up), I'd say it's probably OK to make the change. The reason I did that is because of fluctuating numbers like career batting average, slugging pct., etc. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 02:56, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Michelle Wie Article

Hello. I noticed that you have made some edits of the wie page. Currently the article is all over the place, and includes a lot of detail.

FLR delegate election

I just wanted to say thank you for deciding to run in the election. I have to say that I thought all of your answers were very well-thought out and I would have had no second thoughts about naming you delegate. Unfortunately, you were up against the Michael Phelps of FLR (Would that make you Milorad Čavić?). Please don't get discouraged by the result, and I hope that you continue to be an excellent contributor to the process. -- Scorpion0422 03:31, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
